Art Déco | Graphic Design from Paris

The very words “Art Deco” summon images of opulent curved forms, exquisite furniture, costly fabrics, and sophisticated garments – and only rarely of graphic art. And yet the printed image witnessed some remarkable achievements during this period. In recent years, the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg has acquired a collection of Parisian prints mainly from the 1920s that is unparalleled anywhere in Germany.
